CRITICAL CONDITION: JORGENSON LAUNCHES RURAL HEALTHCARE TOUR

SASK. NDP MLA DRAWS ATTENTION TO GOVERNMENT REPLACING ER DOCTORS WITH WEBCAMS

Saskatchewan NDP Associate Shadow Health Minister Keith Jorgenson launched his Critical Condition tour amid increased reports this summer of emergency room closures and chaos in rural and remote hospitals across the province.

Jorgenson is visiting communities where the Sask. Party is replacing real doctors with virtual doctors in emergency rooms.

“Instead of hiring more doctors, the Sask Party seems perfectly fine relying on virtual doctors. That doesn’t cut it in emergency situations where minutes count,” said Jorgenson.

The Virtual Physician Program is active in at lease 28 communities, including:
